Drop of water

This photo is enlarged tens of times for a drop of water; Allah Almighty put in it a feature called “surface tension” which is a property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force. It is revealed in floating of some objects on the surface of water, even though they are denser than water, and in the ability of some insects and reptiles to run on the water surface. This property is caused by cohesion of like molecules

.

There are several useful effects of that property such as Formation of water drops, Flotation of objects denser than water, Separation of oil and water and descending of rains.

Hence without that property life mightn’t be existed, on the other hand Scientists say they found five thousand water molecules in a small drop of water. Allah Almighty told us about the importance of water as He Almighty says: (And We have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?){ Sûrat Al-Anbiyâ’- The Prophets -verse30}.
